JesseBot<p>:boost_ok: Can anyone point me to a webhosting company in South Africa that is not big tech?</p><p>No AWS, Azure, GCP, for instance.

Linux Is Best<p>Why Use a Country-Level Domain Extension?</p><p>Using overseas hosting (outside the United States) is a smart move and something we encourage — it can provide greater privacy, legal protection, and sovereignty over your data.</p><p>However, hosting alone is not enough.</p><p>Even if you host your website (for example, on a .com) in a country like Germany, while your files and database may be safe, your domain name itself can still be subject to U.S. law. Many domain extensions — including .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, and .edu — are governed by U.S. jurisdiction.</p><p>Additionally, many word-based domain extensions — such as .social — are managed by private corporations based in the United States, which can still put your domain name at risk of legal or commercial interference. Corporations can also be easily bought or influenced, unlike sovereign nations. Historically, sovereign nations tend to seek to hold onto their sovereignty — even when they are financially broke or fundamentally broken.</p><p>Domain takedowns are rare, but the possibility exists — especially in today's unstable political climate. For example, even close allies like Canada have experienced tension with the U.S., and Donald Trump even tried to instruct Microsoft to discontinue services to Denmark, raising the question: What is "normal" anymore?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Domain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Domain</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DomainName" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DomainName</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/DomainRegistration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DomainRegistration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WebHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WebHosting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WebHost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WebHost</span></a></p>
